stainless doesnt = crap.
its an excellent groups of alloys to make tools that are exposed to corrosive envrionments constanly, like kitchen knives and diving knives. AS well as being used for cook ware, and for things that need to be kept sterile.
is stainless good fro swords? Not really, but that doesnt mean its crap.

Yep - and properly heat-treated, stainless can be just fine for swords as well. It is true that the vast majority of the stainless swords out there are rubbish in terms of fuctionality, however, but they're mostly meant to be decorative pieces anyway.

yeah but wouldnt it be rather pricy to properly heat treat stainlss steels to be usable for swords? never mind the fact that its a pain the butt to work with. It has to be forged hotter than plain steels, and it eats of machine tool cutters like candy.
Its nasty stuff to work with. Im glad the place I work only raerly uses stainless steel and thats for small stuff.

I wouldn't mind getting my hands on the Elven warrior sword too... starts to scrounge around thru the piles of dead bodies at helms deep... *Sheesh* all these dead elves, and not one sword left behind! Stupid prop master!
